When choosing a cat house, it’s essential to consider your pet’s personality and needs. Is your cat an energetic explorer who investigates every corner of the house, or more of a dignified and calm ruler of their own territory? Regardless of their temperament, every cat requires a cozy and secluded space where they can unwind, rest, and sleep. This is where cat houses come into play.
If you’ve ever found your cat curled up in a box left in the hallway, an open drawer, or even inside the washing machine, it’s a clear sign they’re looking for a safe hideaway. A sanctuary where they can relax after playing, calm down, and enjoy a peaceful sleep. To meet these needs, cat houses have been created.
Key Features of a Good Cat House
A cat house should be, above all, cozy and comfortable. That’s exactly what HolyCube offers. This house is made from durable felt with a super-soft material at the bottom, perfect for lounging. Additionally, HolyCube is handmade in Poland and machine-washable. It is specifically designed to fit IKEA Kallax and Expedit shelves, so you won’t have to compromise on space or home décor, even if you have multiple cats. We guarantee your cats will love it.
For a versatile alternative, consider the Chill Box – a comfortable and airy cardboard house. Cats adore cardboard, which they can use both for resting and playing. The Chill Box is also a great option for households with more than one cat, providing them with a place to hide and play together. It’s a fun and safe environment. Studies have shown that the optimal room temperature for cats is around 30 degrees Celsius. A cardboard house retains warmth from the floor, especially when placed on a cold surface, while its side windows ensure ventilation. Plus, the Chill Box has won the prestigious RED DOT Design Award 2016 in the Communication Design category and received honors in the Art Of Packaging 2016 and PakStar 2016 competitions.
Where to Place Your Cat’s House
It’s important to remember that a perfectly designed and crafted cat house won’t make your pet happy unless it’s placed in the right spot. The simplest and most logical solution is to position the house where your cat already enjoys spending time. However, there are a few rules to keep in mind. First, the area should be quiet and not heavily trafficked by people. Also, avoid placing the house in drafty areas. If everything seems right but your cat still isn’t using their new space, you can entice them with toys from the Beasty Toys series, filled with catnip.
By selecting the right house and placing it thoughtfully, you’ll provide your cat with a safe and cozy retreat they’ll love.
